Quick question!
Well I don't know where to post this so I'll post it here. I'm having some traction issues in my civic. For those of you who don't know, I just had it street tuned and dynoed at 314whp at 10.5 psi. I want to take my car to the track and run it again because it feels faster, but I just spin thru 3rd gear. I need an opinion on which mod i should do next. Should i get a lsd transmission, $1000, or some 15's with nt-01 drag radials $500, Or go full slicks about the same money as the radials. Or Should I get a new coil over set up $1000. I currently have eibach lowering springs with about a coil cut out of them. I know all of these things would help, and some can only be used on the track, but i don't have the money for every thing right now. Let me know your opinion, post up your thoughts, thanks.

I'd go with coilovers first, because your springs are cut, which is just all around bad.
Then an LSD. And some decent drag radials. I would stay away from slicks personally, I'd prefer to be able to drive to the track, and radials last a bit longer... though its only like 5000 miles of normal driving they will last for.

RE: Quick question!
I would do springs, LSD, axles, then tires. I'm pretty sure your stock axles are not good for 300HP and you will prolly end up snapping them one day at the track and i'm sure you don't want to walk home (or get a tow).
